What would replace it?

PHP is unique in that it makes sharing a server trivial and low-resource compared to almost every other solution.

A simple example might be that you can run 100s of PHP forums on a single machine low memory machine but if you want to use discourse (not written in PHP), it requires 10x 20x the resources for a single forum.

This is true about almost every other solution AFAICT.
